The most important late medieval glass form came to its name as the glass with its attached nubs reminded of a white cabbage stalk. The name Krautstrunk was already used in 1562 by the Wittenberg pastor Johann Mathesius in his "Glass Sermon". Glasses of this shape were also found near altars, so it should be emphasized that they were also used in the church rite - for altar wine or as a glass reliquary. The attached nubs were meant as decorational elements as well as to provide a secure grip. The attachment of liquid glass gobs has been known since ancient times. 15th century.

Luther describes the symbolism of his seal:
The first should be a black cross in a heart, which retains its natural color, so that I myself would be reminded that faith in the Crucified saves us... Such a heart should stand in the middle of a white rose, to show that faith gives joy, comfort, and peace...That is why the rose should be white and not red...Such a rose should stand in a sky-blue field, symbolizing that such joy in spirit and faith is a beginning of the heavenly future joy... And around this field is a golden ring, symbolizing that such blessedness in Heaven lasts forever and has no end. Such blessedness is exquisite, beyond all joy and goods, just as gold is the most valuable, most precious and best metal.

In the year 992 AD the Viking Leif Eriksson reached America as the first European. For a long time scientists have puzzled over the question how the Vikings with their dragon boats managed to navigate on the open sea. This secret is now revealed: Magic Sun Stones from Calcite showed them the way. With a stone like this the position of the sun could be determined with high precision, even under low light conditions and at dusk. The sunlight is refracted in the mineral depending on its alignment to the celestial bodies. Looking through the stone you can see two light beams. The stone must now be turned until both beams are equally strong - and the position of the sun is determined!
